This summer, stop by the library and other locations throughout DuPage to view art inspired by the 17th-century Japanese Edo period. 

Similar to their 2023 public art project featuring Andy Warhol-style renditions of local celebrities on a window cling, the College of DuPage, McAninch Arts Center and Cleve Carney Museum of Art have once again created another Beautiful Cities Public Art Project. This summer’s project, Waves of DuPage, features ukiyo-e style renditions by Naperville artist Rich Lo of the unique communities and landmarks across DuPage County.

As the historical home and studio for the Albright family of artists, the Warrenville Historical Museum & Art Gallery building was chosen as the landmark to represent Warrenville in this beautiful 17th-century Japanese art style. In order to give more traffic and visibility to this lovely rendition, Sara Phalen, Director of the Warrenville Historical Museum, asked the library to display the window decal for the summer. It can be viewed on the north windows along Stafford Place.

Beautiful Cities Public Art Project ties in with and helps promote the Hokusai and Ukiyo-e: The Floating World exhibition running from May 31–September 21, 2025, at the McAninch Arts Center, located at the College of DuPage. For information and tickets, visit the Cleve Carney Museum of Art website.

The Waves of DuPage art renderings of local landmarks can be found throughout DuPage County. For descriptions and locations, visit the artist’s website.
